The hidden me

You only see what I allow
My bodies the part I hide
I pretend that I dont feel
The hurt thats deep down inside

I put on a happy face
To hide the shame I feel
And pretend that all is well and good
And that emotionally I've healed

I was teased and taunted when I was young
But the memories soon fade
But I will always carry with me the scars
That have ripped me apart

As I stand here its confidence youll see
But underneath the facade
Is a scared and battered me
That just let down my guard
And gave you my key
